Located on the Morongo Indian reservation, these
tribally led organizations are dedicated to preserving
the cultural and linguistic heritage of California
Indians. Indeed, the Malki Museum
is the first museum created by American Indians on
a reservation. UCR is working closely with the Board
of Malki Press and the Malki Museum to conduct research
of importance to these tribally-led institutions. In
2002, UCR honored the co-founder of these institutions,
Mrs. Katherine Siva Saubel with the Chancellor's Medal,
the highest honor given by the UC system.
